IF YOU CAN ONLY HOLD THE CONVERSATION AS A LEADER BY BULLY PULPIT YOU SHOULD RECONSIDER YOUR VIEW POINT“If you find that people only want to hear your ideas when you scream them or force people to listen by ‘pulling rank’ as a leader, you need to reconsider both your ideas and your approach. Conversation should be a two way street of idea sharing and sharpening. One good test for good ideas would be to ask someone else to present them in your place. If the ideas are better accepted it’s not your ideas that are rejected it’s your communication style. Now you know what you need to fix.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO INFLUENCE OUTSIDE THEIR IMMEDIATE CIRCLES.“If your scope of leadership influence does not extend beyond your four walls, you are wasting the tools you have worked so hard to acquire. Rendering help everywhere you can is an unwritten expectation of good humans. I don’t mean inserting yourself where you’re not wanted or unwelcome but I do mean if you can help DO IT.” J Loren Norris SUCCESS AS A LEADER DEMANDS SACRIFICE ON MANY LEVELS.“My mentor John Maxwell says often ‘You’ve got to give up to go up!’ There is no level of leadership which does not demand sacrifice on the part of the leader. If you want more income, you’ll have to sacrifice time. If you want new strategic relationships, you must sacrifice long term unfruitful relationships. If you want to leave a legacy worthy of your successors you may well sacrifice your own happiness. A great leader must know the limits and be strong enough to resist the temptation to sacrifice core values for wealth and fame.” J Loren Norris THE LEADERSHIP GAP OF GENERATIONS IS BECOMING A DAILY CONVERSATION“Work ethic, professionalism, customer service, individual responsibility are all core values the American society was built upon. Sadly, these are not the driving values of today’s work force. These values are not just about earning a living, building a strong culture and the fabric of society. They are also the foundations of a healthy family and the freedom needed to sustain it. We need diligent leaders who are determined to pass these values like a baton to the next generation.” J Loren Norris LEADERS NEED ENCOURAGEMENT TOO. SUPPORT THOSE WHO SUPPORT YOU“Leaders who are leading the charge are often out in front the of crowd, taking all the hits of rejection, facing all the obstacle and resistance. These leaders need your moral support, encouragement and assistance. Synergy is a tremendous form of encouragement and we all ways get more of what we reward or incentivize.” J Loren Norris WHY EVERY LEADER NEEDS StoryPowerMasterclass.com to win the WAR YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE FIGHTING4/21/2022 WHY EVERY LEADER NEEDS StoryPowerMasterclass.com“The power of a story or collection of stories (aka narrative) possess incredible value in the war for cultural understanding. From revisionist history, to future casting, from vision drafting to social engineering - stories are the wind which direct the sails in the journey through time. Leaders who are not effective storytellers may be great managers or administrators but they will not be legacy influencers.” J Loren Norris HUMANS GATHERING REQUIRE THE ART OF LEADERSHIP COMMUNICATION AT ITS HIGHEST LEVEL.“The keyboard warrior, mouse jockey, microphone mouth piece who cannot look you in the eye and have the same conversation they do online is not a leader but a coward, not an influencer but a manipulator. The art of communicating face to face requires a diligently applied skill set, much grace and patience. The best comedians, the legacy orators and the leaders who make the greatest impact are equally or more persuasive when face to face than when they are in front of the mic and camera in isolation.” J Loren Norris LEADERS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND PERMISSION TO SPEAK FREELY.“Just because you have the right to free speech or permission to speak freely does not mean you are required to speak. If your emotions, opinions, ideologies are not widely accepted or conducive to productive relationships silence may be the better option. As the old saying goes, it’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” J Loren Norris LEADERS NEED TO KNOW ‘WHOSE GOT YOUR SIX?’“There is no worst enemy than a good friend gone bad. They know all your deepest secrets. A good battle buddy has your six even when they know the truth about who you are. The best leaders learn quickly who they can trust and who to keep at arms length.” J Loren Norris HOW IN THE WORLD WOULD I USE STORYPOWER AS A LEADERSHIP TOOL?“The greatest feature of StoryPower is knowing the technique required to select the proper story to tell for the moment.” J Loren Norris LEADERS FILTER THE MULTITUDE OF VOICES AND LISTEN TO A SELECT FEW ADVISERS“Not everyone who has an opinion should have space in your head to live rent free. The heckler, the accuser, the loud mouth with nothing of value to add to the conversation should have no voice in your life. As a leader, people constantly want to give advice on how to do your job better. Not everyone is qualified for the assignment. Your job is to know who to listen to and who to ignore.” J Loren Norris LEADERSHIP REQUIRES MORE THAN IDENTIFYING WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM.“Anyone can complain, whine or gripe. That is not the role of a good leader. A good leader goes further than realizing there is a problem and pointing it out. They will also identify the difference between the symptoms and the cause then also provide a recommended solution. Dale Carnegie says, ‘Never criticize, condemn or complain.’ Take the time to offer ways things could be done better!” J Loren Norris 5 Easy Ways You Can Turn STORYPOWER Into Success

All rights reserved. LEADERS KNOW CONFUSION COMES BEFORE CHAOS“Confusion can cancel a good sale, destroy a relationship, end a career and destroy a culture. I know that seems like a bold statement, but confusion is a tool used by many who know that chaos follows confusion and then anarchy follows chaos which almost always results in a form of tyranny. Leaders should be aware and astute enough to recognize third party attempts to ask confusing questions and be ready to maintain the narrative of core values and foundational ideologies.” J Loren Norris LEADERS WHO ARE TRAIL BLAZERS ARE HARD TO FOLLOW AND HARDER TO LEAD“A leader who is filled with new ideas, innovative notions, futuristic concepts and an appetite for risk is a leader who is hard to follow. They will leadoff in directions unpredictable and untraceable. They are hard to lead because they don’t always follow the rules, conventions or status quo. However, their minds are like mining for gold, lots of work will precede a massive payoff if you learn how to lead them well.” J Loren Norris |

Insuperable Vision Workshop - Audio Download with worksheets Day after day I meet people who are struggling just to make ends meet. They are adrift in this vast sea of humanity holding on to their job, their family, their home, and their car with all they've got. They see their life experiences and education as the last hope to find their purpose and identity. They gather, fill and stuff all the money they can into every opportune investment. Yet they are empty, frustrated, angry and just plain fed up. We have all experienced that moment; when we find yourself stuck in traffic, yelling at random strangers to do what they wish they could... but can't... GO! The idea that life can be better than it is today is like the flame of a candle fighting for all its worth to stand against the tempest. We all want a better life. Even when life is good, we want more. That idea, that flame, is the hope that lives in the hearts and minds of all of us. Should that flame be extinguished, hope itself may well go with it. It is the rut of hopelessness that traps many would be shining stars and buries that glow from the sight of the world. It is the rut of hopelessness that extinguishes that flame. Lives that would have been a beacon to the wandering are lost at sea themselves. Inspirations of success that would have been the voices crying out to all who suffer are hidden away in their own stale lives, they cannot share who they are or what the world needs from them. It is my passion to help you find your purpose. I want to see you become successful, but more than that to be free! Without vision people perish. Without vision, we seem to be lost, mind numb robots following the herd into the abyss that is everyday life. We do not live intentionally without a vision for our future. We do not live passionately without a vision for our future. We do not live productively without a vision for our future. We certainly cannot lead without a vision for our future and a vision for the future of those we lead. This audio course will inspire and instruct you to create a vision which will become a significant driving force in your life. Author
